VooDoo blue or Mexico blue on 82 wide body????

Hey guys I'm almost at the point of no return with paint. The car is an original GP white. I have come so far with this car I kind of want to change things up a bit. Thinking a Mexico blue or Voodoo blue.

2 questions

1.I kind of decided a bit late to do this so the engine bay and under the hood would still be white until I could get to it later. The doors and door jams would be done in full. Would you do it or does that kill the deal? Thought about doing the engine bay area in a matte black first time engine is dropped (down the road). Not as much concerned with under front hood. Car is street and track lightweight, non sunroof, hot rod majigger.

2. Mexico or Voodoo? (I cant find any old school voodoo cars)













Voodoo

My local buddy had a arrow blue wide body 3.6 so kind of want to go a diff direction. Have really narrowed down to these 2 after allot of looking around.

Supposedly this is a accurate comparison, looks like the Voodoo really lightens up in the sun.

I believe Arrow is the closest you'll find in 'old school.'



In any case, I voted for VooDoo because its a color you just don't see on our cars.


EDIT: oh, wait. I forgot about Acid Blue.

Arrow, Mexico or Voodoo are all very cool colors - just lose the matchy rims in pic above!

I like them both - no bad choice. The mex takes it for me by 1 point because its a correct IROC color (I think) and is properly 70's hard candy color.

I did my 930 in Mexico blue and it looked awesome. Whatever color you chose post some pictures after it is done. Best John Szabo
